In reply to: [Related Posts by Sovrn] Related posts only showing one post nowOops – I found the problem.
WP Bitly was conflicting with it after I updated the plugin. Hoping the author of that plugin will update it to resolve whatever said issue is. Sorry to trouble you guys!
WP Bitly has been updated to 2.2.9 to revert the change that caused your issue. I’m working out a different solution to the problem it tried to solve, one that won’t conflict with an apparently large spectrum of other plugins.
I wonder if we could do an experiment… I’m 98% convinced this has something to do with the way Publicize shares its posts, not WP Bitly’s ability to generate the shortlinks (partly because the short links are generated the instant a post is saved for the first time, they’re always there).
Have you tried reverting to a 1.x.x series of the plugin to see if it starts working again?
I tried 2.2.8 on my own and was able to get the correct links posted to Facebook and Twitter. There may be another conflict we’re missing entirely.

In reply to: [Bitly's Wordpress Plugin] WP-Bitly 2.2.8 gives unwanted short URLsReverted in 2.2.9 — I’ll go back to the drawing board on how to approach this particular issue, and hopefully have a better solution for 2.3

In reply to: [Bitly's Wordpress Plugin] WP Bitly causing issues with Zemanta Related PostsGive 2.2.9 a try. The issue was due to a failed experiment that I’ve temporarily reverted back until I determine a better approach for it.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] SuggestionsI got my answer to the last question. I found out that after someone submits a listing, that person will get an email with their username and password. 🙂
The fundamentals are built in, as mentioned above I just have to complete the front end so they’re not making changes through the dashboard but through your web site itself.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] SuggestionsLong term, I want to build an interface for the submission form that allows site owners the ability to add or remove fields at their discretion. Short term, I could add a section on the dashboard side that would allow you to turn on and off required fields. Shorter term, if you need it asap, I can give you a copy of the plugin with the requirements commented out; are you comfortable with uploading files over FTP or through a control panel file manager?
Allowing multiple categories shouldn’t be too difficult to do. I’m trying to visualize the best way to do it;
- Before filling out the form at all, the plugin could ask what category or categories you wanted to submit your listing to. This could have the added benefit of later on permitting site owners to customize some of the fields based on what category was chosen.
- As a multiple select field, allowing the person submitting to simply select one or more categories, with no major restrictions.
- Using an “Add another category” button that generated a new dropdown for each category the listing belonged to, and configurable to a maximum of X amount of categories by the site owner.
I can add back “all listings” functionality, keep an eye out for this in an upcoming release. There’s also “featured listing” functionality which I haven’t documented yet; if you add a “featured” tag to some listings via the dashboard, they will appear on the home page of your directory.
Last but not least, the ability for a user to make changes to their listing has been temporarily disabled. The original plugin used an extremely insecure system for allowing this, dangerous enough that I wouldn’t even consider using it as is. Going forward the directory will use functionality provided by WordPress to allow users to log in and manage their listings — I just have to finish building the front end interface for it. Aka, coming soon!

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] How to delete logo from a listing?This can now be done in the updated LDD Directory Lite.
Be aware that it’s still considered to be a beta release, but since you can install it side by side with the original Business Directory plugin there’s really no harm in giving it a try!

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] Clicking on contact results in messed up pageThat’s no good at all.
I think the new version should work pretty well on your site, I would definitely give that a try first. Go the the Plugins page on your dashboard, select “Add New” and type in “LDD Directory Lite”. You should see version 0.5.1-beta listed. Install and activate.
Let me know when you’ve got that up and running, or if the upgrade doesn’t work for any reason.

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] All info on listings pageWe’ve released the update, though it’s still considered to be in Beta at the moment (meaning there will be minor issues, but so long as they’re reporting to us we can fix them).
You can install it beside the original plugin. When you activate it, it will import all the existing content, and then deactivate the original plugin, however it doesn’t remove any of the original data. If it doesn’t work for you, you can easily roll back simply by reactivating the old plugin.
When you install it, you’ll find that there’s a
templates/directory, with a variety of.tplfiles in it that you can edit to change the way the directory displays information. Keep a rolling backup of all the changes you make, because as of present the template files must be located in the plugin directory, and as such can be overwritten during an upgrade. There will be an update soon that will let you locate these files to the theme directory so that they are not overwritten.Check it out here: LDD Directory Lite

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] Clicking on contact results in messed up pageThe easiest solution may be to upgrade to LDD Directory Lite.
Alternatively we can attempt to locate the issue, though development on LDD Business Directory itself will no longer be supported when the Directory Lite version of the plugin comes out of beta. To locate the issue I’ll need you provide me a link to the web site where the directory is running, and the name of a listing where the problem can be seen.

In reply to: [LDD Business Directory] HELP: backend access to all editors without logins?Can you do a multiple file search and replace? If not, you will have to do it individually in both
lddbd_backend-display.phpandlddbd_settings.php. There are quite a few instances where capabilities are checked, not the least of which is in the latter file whereadd_menu_page()is called.Search for
manage_optionsand replace it withedit_postsAlternatively, you can take a look at LDD Directory Lite which is where all development on the directory plugin will be transitioning to.

In reply to: [LDD Directory Lite] Lite?The lite version is currently the full featured version.
This is a rewrite of the LDD Business Directory plugin, which is light years old and wasn’t the tidiest of plugins to begin with. Our long term plans involve creating a full featured directory theme framework and this will be the drop in version that can be used (hopefully) anywhere.
